Although Lin Yun did not want to interact too much with others, when they had reached their destination, they still followed Bahu Ye down.

According to Bahu Ye, there was a checkpoint from the eighth-level Civilization Star Domain to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain.

It's not up to anyone to go from the eighth-level Civilization Star Domain to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, nor could they bring just anything. There were various restrictions and inspections.

Lin Yun understood this. He had traveled all the way here from earth, passing through multiple Civilization Star Domains and had encountered such situations numerous times before.

"What did you say? If one's power is below the ninth status, one may not proceed to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain?" Lin Yun heard Bahu Ye mention this somewhere along the journey. He stopped in his tracks and furrowed his brows.

He had not encountered such a requirement at the checkpoints between level seven and eight or level six and seven, and nor amongst even lower-level Civilization Star Domains.

This was troublesome.

Many around him had not reached the ninth status, and what was worse, hardly anyone amongst his 180,000 subordinates had reached the ninth status.

They had left earth only a few short years ago, and to already have those who had reached the ninth status was quite impressive.

The talents of his subordinates were all quite exceptional, but time was ultimately scarce.

"Brother Lin, you don't need to worry. If people who are below the ninth status have a guarantor, they can enter the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. One cultivator of the eleventh status can vouch for a person, and a cultivator of the twelfth status can vouch for ten people..." Bailey glanced at Lin Yun and the team behind him, grinned slightly, and continued.

He was planning to go to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain with twelve of his subordinates, two of whom were initial twelfth-level cultivators, and ten were peak eleventh-level cultivators. In addition to him, they could vouch for forty people in total.

Furthermore, the power of Lin Yun, Xia Qingqing, and Lin Mengmeng was not weak either. They could also vouch for several others.

There were only a handful of people behind Lin Yun who had not reached the ninth-level status. They had more than enough guarantors.

Moreover, Lin Yun and his people were highly talented...

People with a power level below the ninth status could also enter the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain if they were extraordinarily talented.

The ninth-level Civilization Star Domain was a gathering place for the universe's elite. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter, largely because they did not want lower level spirits wasting the resources of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. People with great talent were naturally exceptions.

Everyone in Lin Yun's group was young, their abilities were not weak, and their talent was expectedly not lacking.

There wouldn't be any issues.

"If the higher officials of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain found out that Lin Yun and his companions came from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they would probably roll out the red carpet. How could they not let them in?" Bahu Ye thought to himself but kept quiet.

However, he still wanted to spend some more time with Lin Yun's group and wished to prevent others from knowing their identity. Naturally, he wouldn't actively reveal this information.

"There are more people below the ninth-level status than just these around me." Before Bahu Ye could finish speaking, Lin Yun interrupted him.

"Huh?" Bahu Ye was taken aback.

"I have 180,000 subordinates, all of them contained within a special space on my person." Lin Yun stated.

"180,000 subordinates?" Bahu Ye's expressions changed, he couldn't help but exclaim.

He truly didn't expect that Lin Yun still carried 180,000 subordinates within a special space on his body; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Lin Yun so leisurely to this place.

"That's indeed troublesome. I regret not making these things clear with Brother Lin beforehand." Bahu Ye frowned and spoke self-reproachfully.

If it was just a hundred or so people, even if they couldn't vouch for them all, he could still invite some acquaintances to help the Lin group.

But 180,000 people was far too many.

He didn't know that many powerful figures here...

These 180,000 were Lin Yun's subordinates; nine times out of ten, their abilities would be on the lower side. Even if some did have high power levels, not all of them would necessarily be talented.

Under such circumstances, even trying to seek an alternative route would be difficult.

"Can those people detect the ones in the special space on Boss's body?" Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask.

"Of course they can. This kind of special spatial technology is not uncommon in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. Since the higher officials of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain implemented this rule, they must have equipment that can detect this circumstance. The checkpoint we just passed can detect it." Bahu Ye responded.

"What should we do now, then? Can we not go?" Zhao Gang asked, exasperated.

"Isn't there any other way to handle this? Like, for example, we offer additional spirit crystals for every person that goes in..." Lin Yun asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

During their previous encounters with the Civilization Star Domain checkpoints, there were some irregularities. However, they paid some spirit crystals and resolved those issues.

"If it were lower-level Civilization Star Domains, maybe we could resolve it by offering some Spirit Crystals. Even some lower-level Civilization Star Domain enforcers deliberately nitpick to get some Spirit Crystals. But usually, there is no such situation at the checkpoint between the eighth-level and the ninth-level Civilization Star Domains..." Bahu Ye responded with a bitter smile.

"Why does this rule exist?" Lin Yun asked, perplexed.

"Officially, it's for the safety of these people. The majority of individuals in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain are highly powerful, or they were born there and have various backgrounds.

If people with low power go to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain without any background, it would be quite dangerous." Bahu Ye glanced at the other people in the distance, then at Lin Yun and spoke softly.

"In that case, are the officials doing what's best for everyone?" Lin Yun asked, frowning.

"Actually, there's another theory that some higher officials of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain don't want people of lower status to go there. They think those people will waste the resources of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, but I don't know if this true or not." Bahu Ye whispered.

"Those officials think that lower-status people going there will waste their resources? Isn't that discrimination?" Zhao Gang angrily retorted.

"This is just what some people suspect. The officials never said anything like that." Bahu Ye quickly responded shaking his head.

In the midst of their conversations, Bahu Ye unleashed a wave of Domain Power that enveloped them, preventing their voices from being heard farther away.

They could discuss such matters in private, but others must not overhear and spread these words.

"However, not all people with low power are unable to go there. If a cultivator has strong talent, they can pass without needing a guarantor." Bahu Ye then added.

"Cultivators with strong talent can go? Without a guarantor? And they claim it's not discrimination?" Zhao Gang chimed in sarcastically.

"Gangzi, there's no reason to be angry about this. This kind of incident is common everywhere. Even on our earth, there are high-end restaurants that do not want people of lower status or less wealth to enter and they even set an entry threshold. The same goes for some cities... Some high-ranking officials also look down upon lower-status people and employ various means to drive them away.

They just don't say it openly." Lin Jianfei shook his head and said.

"Hmph..." Zhao Gang huffed lightly.

Even though he said that, encountering such a situation was still irritating.

Moreover, he did not approve of such things on earth either.

Now, the problem they were facing was equally dissatisfying to him.
